Not in the same league, but I've been escorted out of a train station of taking a photo of a piece of signage too. The electronic sign in question had condensed a station name to something mildly profane, which I considered amusing enough to take a photo of.

The justification given that I could have been planning a terrorist attack, so it was regarded as suspicious behaviour.



Isn't taking photos in public place like a train station completely legal?


I've no idea. This was in Australia, but I don't think we have any specific laws against it either.
